Summary:

Constant increase of number of tourists, development of tourist accommo-dation and services in the village of Białka result in an increased anthropopression on areas which have so far not been developed and which are characterised by high natural values. Spatial policy of the communes is an important element in the crea-tion of sustainable development. The authorities of the commune of Bukowina Tatrzańska struggle with investors who want to introduce changes to the spatial policy. New areas meant for investment include large areas of agricultural land as well as of forest areas.
